Hera's passion for acting has always stood out the most, as she strives to give a voice to those whose stories remain untold. From a young age of 6, Hera has felt a strong intuition to advocate against injustices affecting people, animals, and the environment, by spreading awareness on endangered animals beginning at her kindergarten.

As a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan, she is trained in various techniques, such as Stanislavsky, Meisner, Stella Adler, Uta Hagen, Alexander Technique, and Laban Movement Efforts. Hera has also trained at Stella Adler's Studio of Acting, Identity School of Acting, and Dialog Anlatim Iletisim. 

Hera is Equity eligible, and soon to be SAG-AFTRA eligible soon, and will be joining both very shortly.
